I kinda forgot what happened in books 2 and 3 before reading, so for the first 100 pages I was very confused. I would've given it a 4.5 ⭐ if I'd had a better memory, I think. It does get better though, so that's a relief. I wrote a full review on goodreads, but I'll put a summary here:
Some people think Rowan shouldn't have been the love interest and that he shouldn't have been Aelin's main focus, which I mostly agree with. Manon's awesome, too.
Plot twists were great, as I've learnt to expect in Sarah J Maas' writing.
